his name printed in ,hr report OF his ap-
pearing ~, the brrak,as, given by Cody
and Salisbury as ''da Pew He WAS par
ticularly witty and happy when Ac was
called upon to talk, bu, he said nothing
that could be compared for one moment
with the fun Of the sleccl, that was made
to him privately after the breakfast was
over. Every one knows how serious. dis
nal and funereal are all the English ora
tors ut their public feasis. This particular
Englishman was delighted with Mr.. De
pew's talk. He came up to the silver
tongued candidate for the next prcsitleu-
tial nomination, and said: "Ob, beg your
pardon; but must tell you how pleased
was with your speech. Such wit and
rare humOr surely proves, Mr. Dcpew,
that you have II conmnn ancestry with
the orators Of England" At the break
fast Mr.. Depcw was taken for an English
man by one uf the Wild West walters.

"The Criminal Type.

DIR. William Noyes, assistant physician
CT the Bloomingtlale Insane asylum OF
New York, read 81 paper On ''lhe tfiih-
inal Type 1t was devoted to Il ds-
c1ssion of the theories regarding habitual
criminals of French and Italian phy-
sicians, principally of those OF Caesar
I,ombroso, the eminent Italian scientist.
The argument of the paner was the lrrc-
cli,isnability Of /; certain class: OF criminals
owing to their being physically rs wei -;
mentally governed by criminal l,np!t. ;'&
lie said that many researches abroad,
principally in Italy and France. seem 70
show that there is Il distnc, class which
,uay bc recog,,. led by various boally
anomalies as forming The chief OF the
lower type of criminal. These anomalies
are principally malfornIation OF the head
and face, hut the other bodily organs also
show marked and easily recognizable
>!cvations from the normal type. These
anomalies are on the whole such as art
found among the lower races and sayagcs.
Tie writer traced the gradual evolution
Of crime in the animal kingdom and the
resemblance of the criminal acts of bears
Ia those of the lower order Of men. Grim
iEnls. he said, differ from normal people
in having smaller skulls. with less cranial
capacity. The angles and measurements
of the skull differ in Il marked degree
from those ht the normal man. There is {.
prepondcrancc of left handed men among
criminals. As compared with other per
sons three times rs many male and four
times as many female criminals are ambi-
deXtrous. The convolutions of the brain
show marked degenerative characteristics,
and seem to he allied to the Monyol or
Australian type Criminals also resemble
savages in the frequency with which they
are tattoOed. Their writing shows
marked tendencies toward the use of HE
roglyphics. They arc vain and revenge

sons of similar social position. 1t would

certainly had no idea 10 whom he was
speaking His request for the stranger
to preach was therefore expressed in the
most formal aud constrained manner.
The stranger readily agreed to FIJI the
pulpit. and the pastors chasrin was eyi-
dent, as he resigned himself to his fate
The bishop preached one of his powerful
sermons, and everybody in the audience
whispered 10 his neighbor, ':Who is he's,

The Globe Plow works of Davenport,

formerly of this city, was superintendent,

evening for the benefit of their creditors.

The company was organized in January
last, taking the manutactory of the Dav-
enport Plow company for the manufac,
ture of the newly patented seneAppel~
quist plow. which was undoubtedly an
improvement on any previous implement
of its kind, and il was relied upon to in-
troduce itself. hnt II took larger amount
OF capital than the company possessed 10
push the improvement into widespread
popularity among the farmers. From the
first, therefore, the company has been
| working at disadvantage. They became
indebted to the firm of Brown & Co, of
Piltsburg, in the sum of 81 $50 for steel,
and few days since draft of the firm
| for the amount went to protest Brown &
Co instructed their Davenport attorneys,
Murphy & Gould, to take immediate
action to secure the amount The attor-
neys placed an attachment on the factory
] Saturday afternoon. A meeting of the
| directors was held and assignment was
agreed upon as the best possible course,
and Mr. Lamp was Informed of his ap-
pointed Office.
No schedule of assets and liabilities
was made out, but it is believed that the
liabilities amount to between $50, 900
and $40, 900, while the assets are estima-
ted at the same figure. of the liabilities
about Sd, 600 are held in the city-Sl, 400
in banks, "a, 600 in the Davenport Piow

amount of 81 600 The other claims are
